Pregnancy guidance
RecommendedBoiled pumpkin leaves are exceptionally nutritious and highly recommended during pregnancy. They are a rich source of plant iron, calcium, folate, and vitamin A to support expanding red blood cell mass and fetal development. Simmering the leaves in water softens their fibrous prickles and destroys any surface bacteria. Sauté boiled pumpkin leaves with tomatoes, garlic, and peanut butter for a traditional, nutrient-packed stew.
